Hi Ian and Friends

On Odiham Common we have experienced trouble from Natural England since 1995 but have managed to repel their wishes of grazing, felling, and fencing. The latest insult was the latest management plan produced by consultants under the Common Purpose protocol. The plan ignored the views of the people who live on and use the common. The consultants simply produced a plan that met Natutal Englands requirements to get HLS funding so that our local authority could pick up £120,000 over the next 10 years. The fight goes on. Natural England want to control everything without being accountable and the Big Society principles have yet to arrive at Natural England.
